the techniques are given below:
1. Figurative Language
 Definition:

Figurative language is a language used to analyze a song more deeply by

using words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal
interpretation.

 Types of figurative language:

A simile is used to compare two unlike things using 'like' or 'as'

Examples:
- She is as sweet as sugar.
- He runs fast like a cheetah.

The metaphor is used to compare two things without using 'like' or 'as'
Examples:
- Edo is such a fox.
- My mother is a rock for all of us.

Personification is used to give human qualities to inanimate objects

Examples:
- The wind danced with the waves.
- It was time to go home but the bell refused to ring.

Alliteration is when at the beginning of the words, there is a repetition of

consonants
Examples:
- Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
- Silly Sally swiftly shooed seven silly sheep.

4
 Hyperbole is used to exaggerate things beyond the limit.
Examples:
- My mummy has a diamond ring as big as a mountain.
- I ate a sandwich that was bigger than a train.

Onomatopoeia is words that sound like the name of the word

Examples:
- She splashed the water on me.
- The lion was growling.
- I carry a gold locket in my pocket hymn is a word that sound alike
either at the end of the middle of the li after the farmer's wife, who
cut off their tails with a carving
Rhyme is a word that sounds alike either at the end of the lines or in the
middle of the line.
Examples:
They all ran after the farmer's wife, who cut off their tails with a carving
knife.
I carry a gold locket in my pocket
2. How to figure out a song's meaning.
Artists write songs and poems to express their own feelings. Finding the meaning
of a song is a demanding task because we do not know what the writer was
feeling at the time of writing the song or poem. Whenever we are successful at
finding the meaning of a song or poem, it brings a great feeling of satisfaction and
appreciation towards the song. These are the steps involved in finding the
meaning of a song:
Step 1: It is very important to know the lyrics of a song.
Step 2: Try to figure out the type of song. Is it classical, country etc.
Step 3: Find out what kind of poetic devices are used and then reexamine the
lyrics. You will be able to find a whole new meaning of words.
Step 4: Listen to the song while reading the lyrics. It can help you to find a
deeper connection with words. Try to look for the message of the song.
Step 5: Keep an open mind and discuss the meaning with other people. You
will be surprised how different perspectives can open up your mind to new
meanings.

Activity 1. Identify the song lyric below and write down the imperative sentence and
interrogative sentence in the song lyric
Firework by Katy Perry
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep

Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you

Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're the reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

9
 And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe"

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em all in awe-awe-awe

Boom, boom, boom

Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

FLY by Avril Lavigne

There’s a light inside all of us
It’s never hidden you just have to light it
It’s the one thing that you got to trust
It’s like a diamond, you just have to find it.

10
 So, if you feel like giving up
Yeah, let's remember that.. we were all meant to fly

Spread your wings, across the universe

It’s your time to, it's your time to shine
There’s a light inside all of us
Soon, you’ll find that it’s your time to fly
Your time to fly

A little happy is all it ever takes

Somebody else just tells you that it’s worth fighting
A single step becomes a leap a faith
That’s when you realize just starting flying

So, don’t you ever say you’re giving up

No, there’s no looking back.. cause we are all meant to fly

Spread your wings, across the universe

It’s your time to, it’s your time to shine
There’s a light inside all of us
Soon, you’ll find that it’s your time to fly
It’s your time to fly

Just reach up, don’t give up

Until you touch the sky
Just reach up, don’t give up
Until you feel ‘alized (realized)

That we are all meant to fly

Spread your wings, across the universe

It’s your time to, it’s your time to shine
There’s a light inside all of us
Soon, you’ll find that it’s your time to fly, fly\

It’s your time to, it’s your time to shine, shine

Soon, you’ll find that it’s your time to fly

Spread your wings, across the universe

It’s your time to, it’s your time to shine
There’s a light inside all of us
Soon, you’ll find that it’s your time to fly
It’s your time to fly

"We Will Not Go Down (Song For Gaza)"

A blinding flash of white light

Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight
People running for cover
Not knowing whether they're dead or alive

12
They came with their tanks and their planes
With ravaging fiery flames
And nothing remains
Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze

We will not go down

In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

Women and children alike

Murdered and massacred night after night
While the so-called leaders of countries afar
Debated on who's wrong or right

But their powerless words were in vain

And the bombs fell down like acid rain
But through the tears and the blood and the pain
You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze

We will not go down

In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

We will not go down

In the night, without a fight
You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools
But our spirit will never die
We will not go down
In the night, without a fight
We will not go down
In Gaza tonight

WHO SAYS
[Verse 1] But when it comes to me

But who are you to judge [Pre-Chorus]
When you're a diamond in the rough? I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me
I'm sure you got some things You've got every right to a beautiful life
You'd like to change about yourself C'mon...

13

[Chorus]
Who says?
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's
hurting?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?
[Verse 2]
It's such a funny thing
How nothing's funny when it's you
You tell 'em what you mean
But they keep whiting out the truth
It's like the work of art that never get to
see the light
Keep you beneath the stars
Won't let you touch the sky
Who says?
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's
hurting?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?
[Outro]
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's
hurting?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?

[Pre-Chorus] By: Selena Gomes

I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me
You've got every right to a beautiful life
C'mon...

Who says?
Who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one that's
hurting?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?

[Bridge]
Who says you're not star potential?
Who says you're not presidential?
Who says you can't be in movies?
Listen to me, listen to me

Who says you can't be the best?
Who said, who said?
Would you tell me who said that?
Yeah, Who said?

[Chorus]
